Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams Lean beef (sirloin or flank steak)
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce (low sodium)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger (grated)
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Vegetable oil
- 1 Red bell pepper (sliced thin)
- 2 cups Broccoli florets
- 1 Carrot (sliced into thin matchsticks)
- 3 Green onions (chopped)
- 2 cups Cooked brown rice or quinoa (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Slice the beef thinly against the grain into bite-sized strips.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, honey, cornstarch, and water to create the sauce. Set aside.
Heat the sesame oil and vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the beef strips to the skillet and stir fry for 3-4 minutes until they are browned and just cooked through. Remove the beef and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the red bell pepper, broccoli, and carrot. Stir fry for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Return the cooked beef to the skillet, pour the sauce evenly over the beef and vegetables, and toss to coat.
Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens and everything is well heated.
Garnish with chopped green onions and serve hot over cooked brown rice or quinoa, if desired.
